Here's another solution - don't use Photoshop to make your web graphics!

That is a really asinine response. How about this... don't use Fireworks.
Fireworks was a Macromedia product and doesn't play well with Photoshop.
Hopefully CS4 will be better.
And here's THE most important thing... turn off all color management. It
screws colors up.

Baloney. There is no conflict between these two very different products.
Use the right tool for the job - web graphics = FW, print graphics = PS.

You obviously never tried to use them together very much. Just yesterday I
tried opening a layered CS3 PSD with groups and vector masks and cloipping
groups in Fireworks CS3 and it choked. All clipping groups were released, masks
were not recognized and the file opened as a mess. This never happened with
ImageReady.
I hope that Fireworks CS4 will open PSDs MUCH better.
If Fireworks can't open Photoshop files correctly, then there's no point in
trying to use it for web graphics. I'm absolutely positive that a much higher
percentage of people use Photoshop for web graphic development than Fireworks.
It's like comparing Illustrator to Freehand users.

CS4 integration is much better. Can it be even better? Sure, but only so
much can be done in each release.

FW CS4 supports PS vector objects, PS vector masks and Layer Comps, as
well as PS type (even on a path). It does not support clipping paths as
editable objects, but you can opt to flatten the clipping path so the
look remains the same.

FW does not support Adjustment layers or Smart Objects. Adjustment
layers can be brought in flattened, but you lose the editability. Smart
Objects are brought in, but as flattened bitmaps; any link to the parent
program is lost.

Fireworks does not understand color profiles, which is usually where the
color issue stems from.

Disable the color management in Photoshop to allow the colors to be the
same as they are in Fireworks. There's a bit more info in the link below.
